Joomla Sub Menus not appearing

Question

I spent some time having problems with this so, thought I would share the solution.

Using Joomla's site menu creator, or other plugins to create menus, when I use parent items they do not drop down, or appear.

I have used Chrome's Inspect element to see if the link is there as well, but its not, so why?

Answer 1

This is easy to fix, go to the Administrator home, click on Extensions > Module Manager > The correct menu module ( it will be there somewhere )

Then on the options screen for that module make sure the "Always show sub menu's" is selected to yes - note it is off by default!
